Food Security Access Fund

Since 2023, SSA has supported the design, launch, and management of the Food Security Access Fund. Led by The Tepper Foundation and created in collaboration with the New Jersey Office of the Food Security Advocate, this first-of-its-kind initiative aims to address growing levels of food insecurity throughout the state. Currently in its second round of grantmaking, the Fund supports nonprofit organizations in building capacity, securing more private and public grant opportunities, and promoting shared learning. 

  • “I sought a thoughtful and open-minded partner well-versed in the field of social impact to carry out a landscape analysis on a burgeoning topic. SSA conducted dozens of interviews, extensive research, and structured analysis that resulted in a custom, professional report guiding our go-forward strategy. My team and I were impressed by the SSA team’s reliability, efficiency, and responsiveness to feedback.”
